Travel

Some of Charlie’s family was staying at the Blue Mountain Resort for Family Day weekend, so we decided to join them on the holiday Monday. Charlie went skiing with his brother. I had lunch at Oliver & Bonacini Cafe Grill and enjoyed the hot tub at the Plunge with some of the others.

A great new restaurant has opened up near our Hideaway! Andrew’s Roots Restaurant is on the main street in the heart of downtown Meaford, Ontario. It was opened in 2015 by Meaford native Chef Andrew Barber who has returned to his roots to offer casual fine dining with fresh local ingredients.

What could I eat at a trade show? This is the dilemma I faced when we attended the RV show in the Western Fair District in London, Ontario, recently. Most restaurants I go to have something that is gluten-free available.

Have you ever thought you’d like to see inside new motorhomes and travel trailers but not enough to brave a snowstorm and spend an entire day trudging through them? We’ve done it for you, and I’ll outline some RV basics!

Last weekend, we went to the Hideaway for the first time this winter. It was on this same weekend last year that we first discovered our Hideaway! We had been routinely checking out yet another real estate ad. However, this time we were pleasantly surprised! This lot was ideal, and in a few short weeks it was ours!

We traveled 5000 km (3000 mi) to visit our kids over the Christmas and New Year’s holiday and found lots of good gluten-free food along the way! Because it was too cold to travel with the trailer, we took the car. The RV plumbing would have frozen if we had used it, and towing on icy roads is pretty scary! One of our daughters lives in Missouri, right on the way to our other daughter in Colorado. They are both married, and we have a grandson in Missouri.

It’s been quite awhile since Charlie and I spent a weekend in London, Ontario. We used to do it often, but now we have so many other places to go! We do love London, though! Pretty much ever since we’ve been married, one of us has had a sister living in London. We even lived there ourselves while Charlie went to college. So we would often, with and without children, go to the city to enjoy the dining, shopping, and visiting with family.

Charlie and I have discovered a charming little city with a small-town feel. Franklin, Tennessee, sits just south of Nashville, so it’s right on our route to and from Pensacola. In fact, it’s what we consider to be one day’s drive away from Pensacola, and we often spend the night there.

Each time we go to Pensacola, I like to spend a day at the beach. On our most recent trip, because of the weather and other activities, we had to leave it until the very last day of our visit. For days in advance, the weather forecast was for clear skies and warm temperatures for our planned beach day.
